From Forbes.com

"The stocks of these five companies pass a few hurdles when it comes to book value, or shareholder's equity. Book value, roughly speaking, is a company's assets less its liabilities. So the lower the price-to-book ratio, the cheaper a company looks relative to its net worth. The metric may not be perfect, but it's one that many value investors and contrarians use in their research. The price-to-book multiples for these five stocks are all at or below 1.3 and stand at a discount to their five-year historic averages. These stocks also have relatively low ratios of price-to-tangible book, or book value measured using only physical assets (buildings, machines and so on). Security analysts expect all of these companies to be profitable within two fiscal years."

A. There IS an advantage to ariticulate
one's gameplan, whether a trader or an
investor.

As an investment (at least one year and
a day), NOV and RIG represent money in
the bank.

NOV is deep in the money (on hand) with
respectable backlog of orders and RIG is
best of breed deep sea driller currently
operating where the proven oil reserve
